Why is the size of the memory of the struct variable 'place' is 16 Bytes?

Code: #include <stdio.h> struct residence{ char city[10];//10 int plz;//4 }; struct address{ char street[20];//20 int housenr;//4 struct residence place; }; int main() { struct residence place; printf("%d Bytes ",sizeof(place)); return 0; }

memory is arranged as a group of 8 byte on a 64 bits machine and 4 on a 32 bits machine this allows an increase in processing speed
